New Year’s Resolution Check-in

10 PAX posted Turning Point for a New Year’s Resolution check-up. 5 of the 16 PAX who posted for the original New Year’s resolution workout made it back to TP for the check-in. The other 5 PAX added their resolutions (or lack there of) to the mix. We got after it pretty good. Will check-in with the group again in March. 

Weather- 50 and a little mist in the air but no rain

Devo- read and article about a teacher and a class project. Here are the notes below. (replace smart phone for your most distractable thing)

A teacher was at home, and after dinner she started checking the homework done by her students. Her husband was strolling around with his smart phone, playing his favorite game ‘Candy Crush Saga’.

When reading the last note, tears rolled silently down the wife’s face.

Her husband saw this and asked, “Why are you crying dear? What happened?”

Wife: “Yesterday I gave homework to my first grade students, to write something on the topic of ‘My Wish.'”

Husband: “OK, but why are you crying?”
Wife: “Today, the last note made me cry.

Husband curiously: “What’s written in the note that makes you cry?”

Wife: “Listen:

‘My wish is to become a smart phone.

My parents love their smart phones very much.

They care about their smart phones so much that sometimes they forget to care about me. When my father comes home from the office tired, he has time for his smart phone, but not for me.

When my parents are doing some important work and the smart phone starts ringing, within a single ring they answer the phone. But not me…even if I am crying.
They play games on their smart phones, not with me. When they are talking to someone on their smart phones, they never listen to me, even if I am telling them something important.
So, my wish is to become a smart phone.'”

 After listening to the note, the husband got emotional and asked his wife, “Who wrote this?”

Wife: “Our son.”
